Sirk su Sirk D melodramma - I.A parola €!_~lo4fE_'!!,iii}>, oggi ha perso mo/t,o del suo significato: la genie tende a tralasciare il termine «melos», ossia musica. Io non sono un americano. Infatti, sono approdato al folklore del melodramma americano da un mondo incredibilmente diverso. Come uomo di teatro ho avuto a che fare con l'arte ''alta" e mi si è formata a poco a poco l'idea del melodramma, una forma che ho visto portata alla perfezione nei film americani. Erano nau, completamente differenti, completamente Non-Artistici. E questo si ricollegava ai miei studi sul periodo elisabettiano, quaiìJo c'erano l'art pour l'art e Shakespeare. Per l'UFA feci diversi film che potrebbero essere definiti melodrammi: La nona sinfonia, La prigioniera cli Sidney, Habanera, ma nel senso di «musica» + «dramma». Il melodramma in senso americ4no. è.pi11tt-0st.o J'a,chéifpo. .
